Patent EP-0458224-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KRAUS KARL
IPC: E02B7/20
Filed: 1991-05-18
Abstract: Discharge regulator for storage tanks, having an underwater throttle member (24) which changes the cross-section of the discharge pipe to be regulated and is closed by an above-water float (36) in the storage tank via a drive-lever connection (38-44) when the water level rises and opened when the water level falls, a first correcting device (46), which takes into account the dependence of the discharge quantity on the container storage level, acting in the drive connection. An underwater float (66) in a chamber (64), into which an inlet channel (50) coming from the tank and having an adjustable sluice (52) opens, is provided upstream of the throttle member (24). The underwater float (66) is connected, in such a manner as to move in the opposite direction, to the sluice (52) via a linkage (72, 74) so that as a result of the regulated opening width in the inlet channel (50) a predetermined storage level in the float chamber (64) is maintained, as soon as the tank discharge exceeds a given value, and an emergency releasing device, which comes into action in the event of blockages upstream of the underwater throttle member (24), is coupled to the underwater float (66) in order to open the underwater throttle member (24). <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a furnace wall heat-transfer pipe unit in a spiral wound-type boiler, for distributing gas-liquid double layer fluids from lower part spiral pipes to upper vertical pipes, a uniform distribution heat-transfer pipe unit includes a horizontal pipe interposed between the spiral pipes and the vertical pipes and arranged in the horizontal direction to extend around a furnace wall. The gas-liquid double-layer fluids flow into the vertical pipes via the horizontal pipe extending around the furnace wall from the lower part spiral pipes in the horizontal direction. The uniform mixing layer flow comes into each vertical pipe so as to minimize an imbalance of fluid temperature at the outlet of the furnace.

Abstract: The packing for use in resolution proposed for the liquid chromatography for particularly the optical resolution of racemic compounds is prepared by reacting a silica gel carrier with a so-called silane treating agent to introduce a spacer part therein and chemically bonding it with a copper salt of a carboxylic or thiocarboxylic acid selected from the group consisting of optically active D- and L-2-acetizinecaroxylic acid, proline, hydroxyproline and allohydroxyproline. The steric bulkiness, the distance between the silica gel and the optically active group and the degree of hydrophobicity are specified so as to obtain an excellent resolving power.

Abstract: A transmitting station for a position locating system and methods for monitoring and controlling such a station are disclosed. 
     In known stations, the main equipment and the standby equipment operate alternately, and the monitoring consists in checking the transmitted signal received from external sensors. 
     It is object of the present invention to monitor at least the standby equipment during inactivity periods, i.e. while no signal are transmitted. 
     This is achieved through:
     use of external sensors (FS, MF) for monitoring both the main transmitter (TXM) and the main timing and control section (TCS1) during transmission periods,   use of a dummy load (DL) and an internal sensor (IS) for monitoring the standby transmitter (TXR) during non-transmission periods,   use of internal monitoring information (MI) for monitoring the reserve timing and control section (TCS2) and the electronic antenna (EA), and   mutual monitoring of the two monitor sections (MS1, MS2) contained in the monitor unit (MU).

Abstract: A simplified low cost, low wear, sheet registration and feeding system for laterally (side) registering a sheet (11) without frictional drive slippage against the sheet and while maintaining feeding control in the primary forward feeding direction (11a) of the sheet. The sheet may be fed both forward and laterally (towards a side guide edge (22) for side registration) utilizing only multiple sheet-engaging rotatable ellipsoidal rollers (16) angularly mounted around the periphery of a fixed angle rotating hub member (12). The sheet-engaging rollers rotate with the hub member to so feed the sheet, but are also rotatable about their own, different, axes of rotation (16a), which axes are parallel to the forward feeding direction of the sheet and the side guide to allow the sheet-engaging rollers to roll after side registration is achieved to prevent excessive lateral feeding force and undesirable slippage, smearing and/or wear.

Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit comprises an input circuit (10) provided for each of input terminals (D1 - D6). Each input circuit (10) outputs either one of "HIGH" or "LOW" as a frequency dividing ratio setting signal when the corresponding input terminal is "HIGH" or "LOW" in level but outputs another one of "HIGH" and "LOW" as a frequency dividing ratio setting signal when the corresponding input terminal is in open state. Thus, the frequency dividing ratio of a programmable divider (2) is determined by fixing the level of only required ones of the input terminals (D1 - D6) at "HIGH" or "LOW" through, for example, wire bonding in the package while leaving all the others in an open state.

Abstract: On décrit les propriétés immunochimiques d'un antigène protéique de 17 kDa, fractionné, purifié et séquencé pour les acides aminés de Mycobacterium tuberculosis (isolat sud-indien, SII 1), qui est la cause de la tuberculose chez l'homme, auprès de 16 millions de patients dans le monde entier. L'antigène protéique de 17 kDa, qui comporte une N-terminaison de A T T L P V Q R (aa 1-8) possède au moins trois épitopes spécifiques de liaison d'anticorps situés sur des peptides linéaires des séquences R A T Y D K R Y E V R (aa 91-101) et S E F A Y G S F V R (aa 68-77), qui se sont avérés utiles dans un micro-ELISA pour le diagnostic précoce de la tuberculose chez l'homme par détection d'anticorps spécifiques. On a constaté que l'antigène protéinique de 17kDa, qui s'est révélé mitogène pour les lymphocytes sanguins périphériques, portait trois épitopes prédits de lymphocytes T sur des peptides linéaires des séquences S E F A Y G S F V R (aa 68-77) et A E L P G V D P D C D V C I T R (aa 107-122). On a constaté que l'antigène de 17 kDa de M. tuberculosis (SII 1), qui possédait donc des propriétés de réaction à la fois aux lymphocytes B et T, contenait 131 acides aminés et qu'il peut être appliqué dans l'immunodiagnostic, immunothérapie et immunoprophylaxie de la tuberculose chez l'homme.
